Agatha Christie's 'most absorbing mystery' - her own autobiography, with new exclusive CD containing newly discovered priceless recordings of Agatha dictating excerpts from more than 40 years ago. Over the three decades since her death on 12 January 1976, many of Agatha Christie's readers and reviewers have maintained that her most compelling book is probably still her least well-known. Her candid Autobiography, written mainly in the 1960s, modestly ignores the fact that Agatha had become the best-selling novelist in history and concentrates on her fascinating private life. From early childhood at the end of the 19th century, through two marriages and two World Wars, and her experiences both as a writer and on archaeological expeditions with her second husband, Max Mallowan, Agatha shares the details of her varied and sometimes complex life with real passion and openness. Then, in 2008, Agatha Christie's grandson made a remarkable discovery. While clearing out her old house in preparation for its opening to the public, Greenway in Devon, a box of old tape reels was found to contain the recordings of Agatha dictating her Autobiography for her typist. These remarkable recordings are not only an amazingly rare example of Agatha's voice, but they also partly explain the engaging nature of her Autobiography - for they reveal the normally reclusive Agatha telling her own story in a lively, spontaneous and often conspiratorial way, whose passion in talking about her life is captured in the printed Autobiography. Now this new edition comes complete with a CD of highlights from these priceless tapes, giving Agatha Christie's millions of fans the opportunity to hear the Queen of Crime's story in her own words, and rediscover her remarkable full story in this special edition of her book, which is newly introduced by Mathew Prichard, the grandson who discovered the tapes.
Agatha Christie is the best-selling author of all time. She has sold over 2 billion novels worldwide and has been translated into more languages than any other single writer.
Born on 15 September 1890 in Devon, England, her career spanned six decades in which time she published 80 novels and short story collections and 19 plays. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles published in 1920, was written as a result of a challenge from her sister. In it she would introduce to the world Hercule Poirot, one of the most famous fictional characters of all time. Poirot would appear in over 80 novels and short stories. Nine years later Agatha created Miss Marple - a spinster sleuth who would become so popular she would rival Poirot in the nation's affections.
Her writing won her many fans including the royal family. When Queen Mary was approaching her 80th birthday, the BBC asked how she would want them to celebrate it. She requested a new Christie play! Three Blind Mice was duly written for the radio; it would later be adapted into The Mousetrap and become the longest continuously running play in history.
Although best known for her detective fiction, Christie also wrote a number of books that give us insight into her world. Her autobiography, published the year after her death provides a full, and often humorous, account of her life and Come, Tell Me How You Live chronicles her travels as the wife of a world famous archaeologist, on digs in the Middle East.
Agatha Christie had a truly remarkable life; she was a very private lady though her love of travel and archaeology shines through in her work. Her most famous novel Murder on the Orient Express celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2009 and was inspired by her own travels on the train, when she too became stranded due to weather.
After a hugely successful career and a very happy life Agatha died peacefully on 12 January 1976.

(原刊于《长江日报》2017年9月12日) 文/俞耕耘 阿加莎·克里斯蒂是侦探小说黄金时代的“金字招牌”。如果说西方人读《圣经》是由于信仰,那么我们看阿婆的小说则源于诱惑。费解怪异的疑案,眼花缭乱的线索加上滴水不漏的推理,她就像逻辑的化身,向我们展现精密思维的极致。...

評分女王的自传,读来真的很有意思,从小小孩的时候就开始。 我对她所描述的童年印象特别深,是一个与我们的环境及观念完全不同的世界。孩子的教育是真正以孩子学会写什么为目的,同时还考虑孩子的兴趣,这是我们所一直都没有的。而且孩子的教育确确实实卓有成效。很小的时候就可以...
評分文人一般耻于谈钱,中国的文人尤其如此。好像一旦文学创作与“阿堵物”挂上了勾,立刻就会从高雅的庙堂跌落,沾染世俗的泥巴灰尘,格调下降一大半。我们的“侦探小说女王”阿加莎女士却非如此,她不但处处表露对赚钱的热情与喜爱,而且很坦白地在书里说,至少在写作的初期,也...
